The Red Cross is assisting two households -- one in La Pine and another in Baker City -- after their homes were destroyed Christmas Eve by fires.

In La Pine, flames damaged a home in the 15000 block of Lava Drive about 4:30 p.m. The fire displaced the residents -- two adults and four pets. The Red Cross is providing food, lodging, clothing, shoes and comfort kits.

And in Baker City, a fire reported at 7 p.m. damaged a home in the 1400 block of Cliff Street. That blaze displaced one adult and a dog. The Red Cross is also helping the person out with food, lodging and a comfort kit.
